Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 9, this application provides an erection frame system for auxiliary support of liquid rockets. The system includes: an erection frame main structure 1, an upper clamp 2, a lower clamp 3, a main support bracket 6, an auxiliary support bracket 4, and a spring-limiting fixture and a screw jack structure 5; the upper clamp 2 and the lower clamp 3 are fixedly connected to the erection frame main structure 1 at intervals; the main support bracket 6 and the auxiliary support bracket 4 are disposed at intervals on the erection frame main structure 1; the auxiliary support bracket 4 is connected to the erection frame main structure 1 through the spring-limiting fixture and the screw jack structure 5.

[0032] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the erector system horizontally supports the rocket body during the entire rocket transfer process, locking and protecting the rocket body; after docking with the launch pad at the launch site, the rocket body is erected, changing the rocket body from a horizontal state to a vertical launch state. The upper clamp 2 is used to fix the rocket in both horizontal and vertical directions during transportation, ensuring the safety of the rocket body during transfer, and fixing and protecting the rocket body during the erection to the vertical launch state. The main support bracket 6 is connected to the rocket support base 62 by bolts. The rocket support base 62 is welded to the base, and the base is welded to the main structure 1 of the erector, allowing for longitudinal adjustment. The auxiliary support bracket 4 is used to assist in supporting the rocket body, using a spring and screw lift adjustment method, which can achieve manual and automatic control. The lower clamp 3 is used to support the tail end journal of the rocket during horizontal transfer, and locks the journal before erection to prevent the rocket body from sliding backward or rotating; it is released after erection.

[0033] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the main structure 1 of the erecting frame is used to provide support for the pipelines and cables of the filling and gas supply system; it is equipped with air conditioning ventilation pipelines to ensure the temperature, humidity and cleanliness inside the fairing; it provides installation support for the secondary disconnect cable and the primary disconnect cable of the avionics system; it provides structural, pipeline and cable support for the fairing air conditioning connector, liquid oxygen / kerosene filling and draining connector and gas pipe connector detachment and recovery protection device; and it provides access and platform for personnel after erection.

[0034] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the end of the erecting frame main structure 1 is rotatably connected to the fixed launch platform via a rotary shaft lug and a rotary shaft. The rotary shaft lug is fixedly connected to the fixed launch platform, and the rotary shaft connects the end of the erecting frame main structure 1 to the rotary shaft lug.

[0035] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the main body structure 1 of the erecting frame is provided with an upper support point for the erecting cylinder, which is connected to the erecting cylinder through an automatic connecting pin mechanism. An automatic connecting pin mechanism is also provided at the connection between the main body structure 1 of the erecting frame and the slewing shaft lug plate, so as to ensure that the main body structure 1 of the erecting frame and the launch pad can achieve fast and accurate docking during the docking process.

[0036] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, a video monitoring system (excluding camera-related hardware) is installed on the main structure 1 of the erecting frame, which can monitor the status of the kerosene filling and draining connector, liquid oxygen filling and draining connector, gas pipe connector, secondary disconnecting connector, and rectifier air conditioning connector.

[0037] like Figure 9As shown, the main structure 1 of the launch erector is a truss structure. The main structure 1 is equipped with a two-stage disengagement and recovery device 11, an operating platform 12, a fueling and gas supply pipeline 13, an air conditioning and ventilation pipeline 14, an elevator car 15, and a power distribution box 16. This invention integrates multiple functions onto the main structure 1 of the launch erector, upgrading the launch erector from a simple rocket body flipping fixture to a platform for the rocket ground support system. It achieves integration of structure, piping, electrical systems, environment, and operation, resulting in faster, lighter, and safer launch preparation.

[0038] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, a finite element simulation algorithm is used to calculate the deformation of the main structure 1 of the erecting frame, and the simulation results encompass the actual working conditions. After multiple rounds of iterative calculations, it is identified that the stiffness of the front end of the frame is relatively weak, resulting in limited support force for the erecting frame. Therefore, an auxiliary support bracket 4 is set to avoid the limited support force and deformation of the main structure 1 of the erecting frame.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the auxiliary support bracket 4 includes an auxiliary arrow support 41 and a guide column structure 42; the guide column structure 42 is located at the bottom of the auxiliary arrow support 41. The auxiliary support bracket 4 adopts a spring-loaded screw jack adjustment mechanism. The screw jack 53 is equipped with a handwheel and an electric drive system and a soft starter. The lifting and lowering adjustment of the auxiliary support bracket 4 can be controlled manually or automatically by the starter.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the auxiliary arrow support 41 and the guide column structure 42 are connected by bolts, allowing for an adjustment range of ±25mm in the X direction. The auxiliary support support 4 is connected to the main structure 1 of the erecting frame by bolts, with a reserved adjustment range of ±5mm in the Y direction to accommodate manufacturing errors.

[0041] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the spring-limiting fixture and screw jack structure 5 includes: a jack base 51, a spring-pressing limiting structure 52, a screw jack 53, and a servo motor 54; the jack base 51 is fixedly connected to the main structure 1 of the erecting frame; the screw jack 53 is fixedly connected to the jack base 51; one end of the spring-pressing limiting structure 52 is fixedly connected to the screw jack 53, and the other end is connected to the arrow support via a spherical bearing 55; the screw jack 53 is connected to the servo motor 54; a pressure sensor 56 is also provided between the spherical bearing 55 and the spring-pressing limiting structure 52.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the screw stroke of the screw jack 53 of the auxiliary support bracket 4 is 100mm. During the hoisting and transfer docking of the entire rocket, the front end of the rocket body contacts the main support bracket 6 via hoisting, and the rear end journal rests on the lower clamp 3. After adjusting the rocket body posture, the lower clamp 3 locks the end journal. At this time, the two auxiliary support brackets 4 need to be adjusted to the designated position to support the rocket body. The two auxiliary support brackets 4 are raised by automatic electric control. After the two auxiliary support brackets 4 contact the rocket body, they need to continue to rise to press the rocket body. The torque is monitored by the servo motor 54, and the pressure data is used as the upper limit for monitoring by the pressure sensor 56. During the erection process, when the auxiliary support brackets 4 need to be lowered, the PLC simultaneously outputs a signal to the DO module. The DO signal is sent to the soft starter to control the servo motor 54 to run simultaneously, completing the simultaneous descent of each auxiliary support bracket 4. During the entire erection process and after the erection is completed, the main support bracket 6 and the auxiliary support brackets 4 do not contact the rocket body.

[0043] like Figure 7 As shown, the guide column structure 42 includes a guide column 422 and a guide seat 421; the guide seat 421 is fixedly connected to the main structure 1 of the erecting frame; the guide column 422 is vertically and movably connected within the guide seat 421. Preferably, a mechanical upper limit mechanism is provided on the guide seat 421. The mechanical upper limit mechanism limits the maximum upward stroke of the guide column 422.

[0044] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the screw jack 53 is a worm gear screw jack, which includes a worm gear and an auxiliary support screw. The servo motor 54 is an explosion-proof servo motor. The auxiliary support screw is meshed with the worm gear and is arranged in a vertical direction. The worm gear is connected to the explosion-proof servo motor, which drives the worm gear to rotate. The rotation of the worm gear drives the auxiliary support screw to rise and fall.

[0045] Preferably, a pressure sensor 56 is installed at the bottom of each auxiliary support bracket 4, and two retraction proximity switches are installed on the auxiliary support lead screw. The pressure sensor 56 at the bottom of the auxiliary support bracket 4 is used to measure the force exerted on the support rocket body. The pressure sensor 56 provides a 4~20mA current, which is connected to the isolation barrier inside the control cabinet through the explosion-proof junction box of the auxiliary support, splitting the AI ​​signal into two paths, which are then connected to different AI modules. Subsequently, the AI ​​signal is sent by the baseboard bus module to the EST-200M interface module, and then sent to the controller via the PROFINET IO protocol for processing and conversion into support force data.

[0046] The control system controls the extension and retraction of the auxiliary support screw based on the data from the shaft angle encoder on the servo motor 54. Data from the pressure sensor 56 is used to cut off the auxiliary support screw's movement in an emergency. In case of pressure sensor 56 failure, the auxiliary support screw's movement is stopped by the servo motor torque and mechanical limit switches. A retraction proximity switch on the auxiliary support screw protects it from damage.

[0047] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the upper clamp 2 includes: an upper clamp base 21, a hinge support 22, a first upper clamp holding frame 24, a second upper clamp holding frame 26, a first push screw 23, a second push screw 25, and an upper clamp arrow-holding pressure plate 27; the upper clamp base 21 and the hinge support 22 are fixedly connected to the main structure 1 of the erecting frame by bolts; one end of the bottom of the first upper clamp holding frame 24 is connected to the hinge support 22 by a rotating shaft; the other end is connected to the upper clamp base 21 by the first push screw 23; one end of the first push screw 23 is connected to the upper clamp base 24. One end is rotatably connected to the other end, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first upper clamping frame 24; one top end of the first upper clamping frame 24 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the second upper clamping frame 26, and the other end is connected to the second push screw 25; the top of the second upper clamping frame 26 is connected to the second push screw 25; the upper clamping arrow-holding pressure plate 27 is connected to the top of the second upper clamping frame 26; the first push screw 23 extends and retracts to drive the first upper clamping frame 24 to open and close; the second push screw 25 extends and retracts to drive the second upper clamping frame 26 to open and close.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper clamp 2 has an overall length of 2.624m, a width of 0.655m, a height of 6.1m, and a total weight of 7.005t (the screw jack weighs approximately 2.823t). It adopts a truss structure. The upper clamp 2 has clamping and opening functions. The position where the upper clamp's arrow-holding pressure plate 27 contacts the arrow body is protected with a 20mm thick wool felt pad.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the center of the upper clamping arrow-holding pressure plate 27 coincides with the center of the main support bracket 6.

[0050] like Figure 8 As shown, the main support bracket 6 includes: a main arrow support 61, an arrow support base 62, and a connecting erector base 63; the main arrow support 61 is fixedly connected to the arrow support base 62 by bolts; the main arrow support 61 has an arc-shaped groove for supporting the arrow body; the arrow support base 62 is fixedly connected to the connecting erector base 63; the connecting erector base 63 is fixedly connected to the main erector structure 1. Preferably, the arrow support base 62 is welded to the connecting erector base 63, and the connecting erector base 63 is welded to the main erector structure 1. The main support bracket 6 can achieve a longitudinal adjustment range of ±25mm.

[0051] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the main support bracket 6 is mounted on the main structure 1 of the erecting frame. During the hoisting and transfer of the entire rocket, the front end of the rocket body contacts the main support bracket 6 via hoisting, and the rear end journal rests on the lower clamp 3. The rocket body first contacts the main support bracket 6, and the lower clamp 3 is adjusted to position the rocket body. Under transportation conditions, the main support bracket 6, the auxiliary support bracket 4, and the lower clamp 3 jointly support the rocket body.

[0052] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the lower clamp 3 is located at the tail of the erecting frame, behind the slewing shaft, and forms a two-point positioning system with the front main support bracket 6, supporting from the front and clamping from the rear. The structure of the lower clamp 3 is the same as that of the upper clamp 2, and will not be described again here.

[0053] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the design of the connecting erecting frame base 63 is modified in conjunction with the erecting frame main structure 1 after completion, and subsequent adjustments are required based on the erecting frame structure.

[0057] This application provides a method for operating an erection system for auxiliary support of liquid rockets, the method comprising: Step S1: The upper and lower clamps securely hold the rocket.

[0058] In step S2, the main support bracket and the auxiliary support bracket jointly support the arrow body and complete the longitudinal adjustment.

[0060] Step S4: The rocket is transported to the launch pad, the main structure of the erector frame is docked with the launch pad, and the rocket body is erected.

[0061] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, during rocket transport, two auxiliary support brackets rise automatically and electrically, continuing to rise and press against the rocket body after contact, ensuring rocket stability.
